L'homme aux yeux d'argent (France, 1985)

Director: Pierre Granier-Deferre

Cast: Alain Souchon, Jean-Louis Trintignant

The plot: A man returns home after 15 years in jail, hoping to dig out the bank robbery loot that he buried under a tree. But his every moves are watched by the policeman who arrested him and wants to finish the business by catching him red-handed with the money.

Note: The maverick policeman drives a black 1967 Plymouth Valiant Signet. Growing more and more frustrated, he uses the car several times as a weapon. In the end, he uses it as a bulldozer to try to bring down a house. He ends up crushed with the car when the house collapses.
